Balao boats, in TMO (1.9 anyway, not sure about 1.76...), will go to crap at 8-0-3 feet on the dot!

Also, for the Gato, 550 should be the max depth you want to consider. At precisely 597 is when you take a permenant trip to Davy Jones' Locker.

As for the older subs, excluding to S-Boat, you can go 200 feet below test depth (i.e, 250 = max 450).

As for the S-Boat, well.... don't go below 300, trust me.

Good Hunting, and good luck in your patrols!

I've been to 815 feet in a Balao once...didnt implode, think it was TMO 1.6 or 1.7, was a while back.
